Peter Hopwood
The Yorkshire Hockey League and the Yorkshire Hockey Umpires Assoociation heard with great sadness of the death of Peter Hopwood a senior member of Slazengers Hockey Club for many years. Peter died suddenly at home on Tuesday May 25th. To Peter's wife Christine and all the family, Yorkshire Hockey Umpires Association and clubs throughout Yorkshire and the North will extend their very deepest sympathy.
Chairman of the Yorkshire League and recent President of YHUA, Peter Thompson writes: "Kerry Rivett, Peter's daughter who I know through my work, kindly contacted me with the sad news. Peter was a familiar face at Slazengers as a player and then as coach to the 1st team,also as an umpire for many years. He umpired in the neutral scheme in both Yorkshire and the North. Then he umpired club games locally before being diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year. He fought a courageous battle and the last time I rang him, he was still his cheerful self, bravely facing the suffering and fight he knew was ahead. Peter died suddenly and is now at peace, but we in the umpiring world and players everywhere mourn his passing. The Slazengers club will have the longer and greater memories of a cheerful character, for Peter was well liked by players and umpires over the wider area. Banter from the touchline was always laced with good humour. To Christine, Kerry, Rachel and the family, on behalf of the Yorkshire Hockey Umpires Association we extend our sympathy and thoughts at a very sad time." Peter Hopwood's funeral will be at Wakefield Crematorium on Friday 4th June at 11.30am. News Categories |
